About PPE

Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) originated from the University of Oxford in 1920s. HSUHK is the first and only university offering PPE Programme in Hong Kong. Compared to other programmes that concentrate solely on Philosophy, Politics or Economics, BSocSc-PPE serves as a unique interdisciplinary study programme that emphasizes generalist training and aims to equip students with capacities and skills that are applicable in a variety of careers including economic and financial analysis, policy and public administration consultant, and civil servants.

About the Programme Structure

Testimonial

PPE is a very unique course that allowed me to view the world in a different way. I am sure everyone in this course was intrigued by the complexity of the world and had learned new ways to interact with it. This is a place for people who are curious, adventurous, and ready to grab life-changing experiences.

PPE introduced me to diverse theories from various fields, such as public administration, international relations, theories of justice, and influential thinkers like Marx, Polanyi, and Ronald Coase. Engaging with these theories enriched my critical thinking and provided a practical framework to understand our complex world. This journey has been rewarding, and I have no regrets about embarking on it.
